A STITCH IN TIME.

No kidney ailment is unimportant. Don’t overlook the slightest backache or urinary irregularity. Nature may be warning you of approaching dropsy, gravel or Bright’s disease. Kidney disease is seldom fatal if treated in time, bub neglect may pave the way. Don’t neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don’t ignore dizzy spells, irregular or discolored urine, headinches, weariness or depression. If you feel you need kidney help begin using the reliable, time-tried remedy, Doan’s Backache Kidney-Bills. For years they have been found effective. Head this [testimony: Mr C. Olsen, Cutlield Street, Inglewood, says:—“For years off and on, I suffered terribly from backache and other distressing symptoms of kidney disorder, but although I tried all sorts •>f medicines, it was not until I began taking Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills that 1 got any relef from the constant pain. These Pills acted almost at o nce, and after taking n thorough course 1 was completely cured. It is orand to be well again, and I am very grateful for my permanent cure.

Why iea Costs Mo rc -

The Third Article- oi a Series dealing with a question which vi'ntly affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea today is due to to the tact tha, huge quantities are wanted for the 25 million men under arms. The Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have tea loi •heir men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a pen, 'die great Russian Nation has been turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea But there is only a limited -supply of tea and that supply is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Cevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer to Sd per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zealr ad very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. Although this seems a bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as "red stalk’’ tea, the lowest possible grade—so low that it is prohibited throughout Australia. Yet even this lowest grade is sold in England at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine teas of the quality of "Amber 'lips,” 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Tea experts the world over are astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in “Amber Tips” at so low a price, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that “Amber Tips” is to day the most popular brand in New Zealand, .Millions of packets of “Ambers 'litis” are sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop from the North Cape to the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sy’e. But fine tea is now costing the “Amber Tips” Proprietors, as writ as other tea merchants, an average ot did* to 3d. per lb. more than in August, 11)14. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. Of coure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas, the “Amber Tips” Proprietors were advised by many to do this, bur instead they decided to raise the price by 2d. per lb., and to continue to give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the name “Amber Tips.” Now, Mrs. Housewife, what io your opinion of the whole matter? Would von rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a J-lb. packet more.-of would yon rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But you say “other teas have not been raised in prices.” If so you can readily see that either excessive prices wore charged before the war —ho excessive that even an extra 2bi. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit; to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy loss must be faced. But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal ti, while it is so Euro and healthful that it can lie taken y even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. Wo believe that you wantqnality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our prices because only by doing so can wc continue to give you tbc same honest quality and the same honest valy**. ioi
